380 、 Imperial Green
Old Man Lee said, "I don't think it's a good idea to go back now. I've read a lot of the newspapers, and they're not accurate."
”
Li He didn't continue. He just looked at his sparse eyebrows and said, "You're old."
Yes, Old Man Lee was old. Although his back was still straight, his hair was whiter and his face was drier. However, he still looked spirited.
"Stop talking nonsense. I can still live for another ten or twenty years." No matter if Li He's gaze was mocking, contemptuous, sympathetic, or pitiful, Old Man Lee didn't buy it.
He Fang smiled and said, "Uncle, I see that you're in good health. Why did you suddenly come to Hong Kong? "
Old Man Lee said, "I was worried about you. The local Chinese newspapers in Thailand are full of all kinds of news. I wasn't sure, so I came to Hong Kong to ask around. In the end, when I came to Hong Kong, none of the news was reliable. The newspapers all have their own opinions. "
Li He obviously didn't believe him. He said, "Is there nothing else?"
"My grandson is already in junior high and doesn't need me to take care of him anymore. I have nothing to do, so I'm helping my son with some business in Thailand. These two years, I've been inspecting the Jade Fire for him, but that's all I can do. These two years, I've found a few good pieces of jade and I'm going to sell them at the auction here. I only wanted to see Madam Yu, but I didn't expect you to be here too, so I came just in time. "
Li He still didn't believe him and continued to ask, "Is there really nothing else?"
"I'm going to America to see my daughter," Old Man Lee said proudly. He was obviously satisfied with his current life.
Li He said, "Pfft, I thought you were really kind enough to come and see us."
Old Man Li said, "What are you talking about? I can sell my jadeite material anywhere. Why would I come all the way to Hong Kong? If I want to go to the US, I can also take a flight from Thailand. Why do I have to make a detour to Hong Kong? "
Li He muttered, "Maybe he's here to meet his old lover? Hehe, who knows? "
"I'm so old, and you're still making fun of me!" Old Man Lee was so angry that he hit Li He's ankle with a stick.
He Fang said, "He's just joking. Sit here for a while and eat lunch here. I'll go to the kitchen."
"Okay, okay." Old Man Lee replied happily, "I haven't eaten your cooking for a long time. He even missed her a little. “
He talked to Li He in detail about what had happened over the years. From the initial discomfort, to liking him, to being unable to leave him. It was probably because wherever his son was, his home would be there. As a father, he had an unusual attachment to his son and daughter.
Li He said, "Not bad. Congratulations."
Old Man Lee said, "Are you really not going to settle down here? The environment here is pretty good. It's better than Thailand. What I mean is that you should all stay here. If you can stay, I'll tidy up my son and open a jade jewelry shop here. Then, we can all be together. "
"No need. You know her temper. " Li He would not stay here. He had originally wanted to persuade He Fang to stay, but He Fang was also unwilling. At this time, more and more people were coming out. A one-way pass to Hong Kong could be sold for four to five hundred thousand. After a year in immigration, one could get a Hong Kong identity. He Fang was almost a year old. Li He really wanted to persuade her to stay. At least her life here was not bad, and she could take care of the child.
To He Fang, only through work and labor could she prove her worth and gain recognition from society.
How could she stay at home to take care of her husband and children?
During the meal, Old Man Lee took out a colorful jade Eight Trigram from his pocket. He untied the red knot on it and hung it around Li Lan's neck. He smiled and said, "There's nothing to give. I carved this myself. It's for the child."
"Uncle Li, this is too expensive." He Fang wanted to refuse. She had been influenced by him and now had a little understanding of jade. This jade Eight Trigram carving was a deep green, and her intuition told her that it was definitely not cheap.
Li He rubbed the pendant repeatedly before asking, "Is this imperial jade?"
The green was even, exquisite, pure, and rich.
Old Man Lee snorted and said, "You've got eyes. It's glass imperial jade."
"This is glass?" Li He smiled and asked, "You won't regret it?"
In the future, it would be impossible to get it for less than twenty to thirty million yuan. Most importantly, it was very difficult to buy, and it was impossible to get a cheap one. There was no such thing as a cheap one.
Moreover, it was normal for imperial jade to be sold for hundreds of millions. He had collected a lot of jade before, but it was definitely not as good as this one.
The King Green Jade was the best of the best among the best jadeite, also known as the Emerald Jade. Its green color was pleasant, and there was not the slightest deviation in the rich green. The green was pure, the green was spicy, and although the green was thick, it still did not lose its tenderness. Although it was full of green, it still did not lose its glass-like head.
It was precisely because of the natural and impeccable quality of imperial jade that many people loved glass imperial jade, but it had always been a rare find.
"I've already given it to you. What's there to regret? I bought this at the Myanmar jewelry trade fair. It was originally carved into two pendants. One was auctioned, and the other was given to the child."
The Myanmar jade trade had been controlled by the Myanmar government and private mining was prohibited. It was not easy to find materials in private.
Li He teased, "I'm afraid that your brain will lack oxygen in the future. I don't care if you cry. The price will not be less than five million yuan in the future. "
Old Man Lee sneered, "Even if it is auctioned now, it will not be less than eight million yuan."
He Fang took off the pendant on Li Lan's neck and said, "It's really too expensive."
Old Man Lee waved his hand and said, "All those years, I ate and drank for free, and you treated me sincerely. It's tacky to talk about money with me. Let's not care about this. "
Li He said to He Fang, "Since Uncle Li wants to give it to me, just accept it."
At this time, Li Lan was probably hungry and began to cry. He Fang had to accept the pendant first, and then took the child upstairs to feed.
Old Man Lee said, "You're lucky to have such a wife. You know, the first time I saw her, she was cutting vegetables. She cut her hand, but she didn't say anything. She even talked to me with a smile. Of course, I thought, such an optimistic girl, no matter what, she will not be bad in the future. "
Li He said proudly, "I don't need you to say that."
"It's good that you have a family and a child. In my opinion, you haven't changed much after all these years. You're still the same. He Fang, on the other hand, has changed a lot. "
"She's already so old. How can she not change? "Li He thought for a moment and said," You just said that you want to open a jewelry shop here? "
Old Man Lee nodded. "Jiasheng wants to expand his business, so I will help him if I can. I dare not say anything else, but my eyes are very sharp. Nothing can blind me."
Li He said, "I have a lot of shops in Causeway Bay. You can choose one and I will give it to you."
Whether it was Yuan Da or Golden Deer, they had a lot of real estate shops in Hong Kong. That was why he dared to ask Old Man Lee to choose one.
Now that Old Man Lee was giving him such an expensive gift, he naturally couldn't be stingy.
Old Man Lee snorted coldly, "Do you think I lack the money for a shop?"
"You mean you're not short of money now?"
Old Man Lee said proudly, "Of course."
Li He laughed happily. Thinking about it, it made sense. With Old Man Lee's eyesight and his son's financial resources, it would be hard for him not to make a fortune in the jade industry. Moreover, the jewelry and jade industry was deep and depended on one's eyesight the most. Without good eyesight, it would be easy to make money but difficult to make big money.
Li He saw that he was smoking a cigar and asked curiously, "You don't smoke anymore?"
"Not anymore. I was sick for a year and the doctor said that I can't smoke anymore. In order to live for two more years, I occasionally smoke a cigar as a memento. "
"That's right." Li He said seriously, "I'm serious. If you want to open a jewelry shop, I have a lot of shops."
"Okay. I'll rent it. "Old Man Lee agreed.
